compliance with all requirements regarding inspection and objection of the
Software provided for in Section 377 HGB (German Commercial Code).

immaterial deviations from the specifications or in the case of just slight
impairment of use. Material defects and defects of title shall be remedied
by OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD in reasonable time after being reported to

a comprehensible description of the error symptoms, as far as possible
evidenced by written recordings, hard copies or other documents

the reproduction of the defect. This shall not affect the statutory obligation
of OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD to inspect and notify defects.
(5) Updates are provided at OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD’s sole discretion to
the Customers for downloading from the relevant website. OPENQRM AUSTRALIA
PTY LTD will inform Customer in written form or electronically
(e.g. via E-Mail) about new updates that are ready for downloading and

OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD may provide Updates to the Licensee on a
suitable data carrier.

any defects caused by revision, modification or editing of the Software or
improper, incorrect or unauthorized use of the Software, especially in the
case of improper, incorrect or unauthorized combination with other
software or hardware.(7) OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD does also not accept
warranty claims, if the defect is caused by hardware or software that has not been supplied by
OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD or if Customer does not make use or does
make improper or incorrect use of Updates provided by OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY
LTD.
(8) Any warranty shall be valid for a period of (12) twelve months as of the
date the Customer was granted the right to use the Software according to

Section 10 of this Agreement.

10.
Liability
(1) OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD shall be liable under the statutory
provisions if Customer raises claims for damages based on a wilful act or
gross negligence.
(2) In the case OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD is blamed for a minor negligent
breach of a principal contractual duty, the fulfilment of which alone makes
proper implementation of the contract possible, and the breach of which
jeopardises the achievement of the contractual object, and on observance
of which the Customer may duly rely, liability of OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
in damages will be limited to the predictable, typically occurring
damage.
(3) Liability for loss of data is limited to the typical recovery expense that
would have been incurred in case of a regular and risk-adequate storage
of data on backup copies by the customer.
(4) Liability for culpable loss of life, bodily injury or impaired health and
liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
(5) Insofar as the liability of OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD is limited, this also
applies to the personal liability of OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD’s employees,
staff members, representatives and servants.
(6) Unless stipulated otherwise above, any liability of OPENQRM AUSTRALIA
PTY LTD is excluded.
11.
Confidentiality

to third parties all items of information, business transactions, and
documents that become known to the party in connection with the
execution of this Agreement and that have been classified as confidential
or by its nature are considered to be confidential (“Confidential
Information”). The use of such information shall be limited solely to the
scope of this Agreement. A Party will not disclose Confidential Information
-5to any third person except, (a) with the written consent of the other Party,
(b) if and to the extent required to do so by Law, (c) to its financial or legal
advisers in confidence for the purpose of obtaining advice. The Parties will
also impose this obligation on their employees and any third parties that

apply to information that the Party has proven to have received or to
receive lawfully from third parties or that was generally known before the
offer was awarded, or has subsequently become known without violating
the obligations contained in this Agreement, developed independently of
the other Party without using the knowledge gained from this contractual
relationship.

Final Provisions
(1) All agreements adding to or changing this Agreement will be recorded
in writing.
(2) Details or specifications of the Software on websites, in prospectuses,
in the Software Description or in other documents only serve as a
description and do not constitute a guarantee, in particular they constitute
no guarantee of condition. Guarantees require express confirmation by
OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD in writing.
(3) Where this Agreement stipulates the written form, this exclusively
means the written form;
(A) If a written form is required by law, the certificate must be signed by the
exhibitor himself by means of a signature or a notarized hand sign.

Exclusive venue is Cologne, Germany. However, OPENQRM AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

The latter does not apply if a deviant, compulsive statutory exclusive
venue exists.
(7) Should provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid or should a
loophole emerge in them, the validity of the other provisions will not be
affected thereby. The invalid provisions or loophole in this Agreement will
be replaced by an appropriate arrangement that comes as close as
possible to what the Parties appear to have intended according to the
spirit and purpose of the contract.
